10 children hospitalised after being bitten by stray dogs in Madhya Pradesh's Khandwa

KHANDWA: At least ten children from the Khan Wali Shah area in Madhya Pradesh's Khandwa district were admitted to the district hospital on Sunday after being bitten by stray dogs in separate incidents, a health official said.

Resident medical officer ML Kalame confirmed that all the children were admitted to the hospital’s surgical ward and are receiving treatment for their injuries.
He added that all of them are in stable condition and doing well.
A similar stray dog attack was reported in Gwalior.
A six-year-old boy suffered severe injuries from a stray dog attack in the Kilagate locality of Gwalior city in January.
The victim, Arpit Pasi, was engaged in outdoor activities with his companions when an aggressive stray dog appeared and pursued the group of children.
While his friends escaped to safety, Arpit found himself trapped and endured a brutal assault. The canine left six serious wounds across his body, including injuries to his elbow, leg, stomach and back.
Local residents intervened to rescue Arpit by driving away the dog. He received immediate medical attention at a nearby healthcare facility, where medical professionals performed urgent surgery, requiring 25 stitches to treat his extensive injuries.
